Equine Myofunctional Therapy (EMT) is an effective and professional therapy, which is now gaining movement within the scientific world. Veterinary studies such as those conducted by Scott & Swanson (2009), have concluded that massage on the equine athlete can improve range of motion, stride length, circulation, muscle tightness, decrease and release muscle contractility and improve flexibility helping to decrease injury by using different massage techniques aimed at sports and remedial rehabilitation Massage.
